Listening to Dwight's press conference it certainly sounds like he's ripping SVG and giving Doc Rivers props...You can't keep giving DVG a pass, especially once the players realize what's going on, and good for Dwight considering how many times SVG has gotten on Dwight.

edit: yea I'm a tad late lol.

You took that out of context. He was confirming what Stan said in his press conference.

Stan obviously didnt want to slow the pace down when he was motioning to Rafer to go! go! go!, every time we inbounded in the 4th quarter.

Maybe he's losing them but, he had the right idea but, the team didnt execute. SVG is certainly to blame for not getting Lee minutes and leaving in Redick late but, the players also have to be very much at fault. They played extremely nervous. They get shaken easily. Never a problem in the regular season but, it seems as though the added pressures of the post season have got to them.

Yeah, I can see where I took that out of context. Maybe I read what I wanted to read.

But still, SVG still lacks class. He's constantly blaming them. It's no wonder they don't listen to him anymore.

I like his fundamental basketball philosophy, but I can't stand his personality, his playcalling and his game substitutions.

hahahhaha. I really don't need to go anywhere, huh. I get the full spectrum here rather than hear a bunch of Magic homers who are apparently bashing Dwight now. LMAO. Watch them run Dwight out of town. Idiot Magic fans. They are so demented that they would rather have SVG than Dwight. Watch it happen. Just watch.

I'm sorry but 10 touches for Dwight all game is pathetic.

What Magic forums do you visit?

The one on their website is a good one. Lots of Redick lovers, though. Some smart ones, some not so much. I just lurk most the time, I didnt even know about it until a few weeks ago. I dont like the whole, every single person in this forum is a fan of Orlando deal. Bound to be so many homers.

As for Dwight. He did not deserve the ball. If you want him to throw up awful long running hooks all game fine, enjoy the loss. He isnt in a position to be calling people out and pleading for the ball when he hasnt shown any game outside of 3 feet in this series. He has been dominated. To call himself dominant after performing like this all series, is just laughable. Why isnt Dwight shouldering any of the blame for his poor play? When has Dwight ever shown that he can finish with the ball in the 4th quarter? He either throws up bricks or gets fouled and misses everything.

Calling out a coach like that is childish. Be a man, say it to his face. Dwight can never do any wrong. That's bull, he hasnt played well and he isnt even getting doubled. Perk and Davis are pushing him around, keeping him from getting deep, just like all the Pistons big bodies do. He has shown that he is still very much immature and his game still has a long way to go yet.

Why must you always find a way to argue... Moses? or Brownstown? Which are you?

Haha for real. I did see an interesting article on ESPN about how Dwight has been ineffective this series. I'm just pissed overall on both ends.

SVG is losing his players, I like his defensive principles and strategy, but when you scream the entire game it just doesn't have an impact on the players anymore. How do you "up" the sense of urgency?

Dwight isn't doing what he needs to do. I know Moth will disagree with this, but D12 needs to back perkins down. He did it 1 time with ease, and then went to a 10 ft runner the rest of the time. Man up and stop trying to play like Kareem. He doesn't have Kareem's finesse offensive touch by any stretch of the imagination. Dwight is pure power. Use it. Back people down. And if he is going to shoot a hook shot, square your shoulders up with the hoop. Dwight looks much better when he's facing the basket instead of just lobbing balls up from the opposite side of his head.

Burns, Dwight cannot consistantly back him down. Wow, he did it one time, congratulations. Dwight never plays well against Perkins. He's tried to back him down a bunch of times, normally leads to travels or turnovers. This is a trend, regular season and now playoffs. Perkins has no problem defending Howard.

Dwight just needs to play around the rim. His post game really isn't as developed as it will be in a couple years and he is best when he's on the boards near the basket. Not when he's setting high pick and rolls or trying to post up Perkins 8 feet away from the basket. He probably could take Perkins occasionally down low but Perkins is very strong and Dwight right now doesn't match up well with him on the block.

You keep Dwight near the basket I think Orlando's chances of winning this series increases dramatically because Howard can control the glass.

Even if Dwight is not having success with the ball down low, you still have to give it to him. It takes attention away from the shooters on the outside. If you don't give it to him (or if you just give it to him 10 times), then you're not freeing up your shooters. Dwight said it best himself. They played inside - out all season long and it's what got them there.

I just can't sit here and blame Dwight especially after a game where he barely touched the ball, yet was one of the few Magic players actually playing defense.

I don't get how SVG gets a free pass just because Dwight called him out. So the story is Dwight being immature instead of the coach losing control of the team and making mistakes and calling out his own players after every loss.
